They already added entirely new cities and have made a number of other good bug fixes and improvements in the past. (Like fixing the falling in place bug that existed on Live for many years.) Since they all work on a volunteer basis, bigger updates may require more people helping - and that means more people need to step up and volunteer their talents and time.

When it comes to increasing player retention, which probably most of us would be happy to see for bigger and better fights, even normal players like us can help.

Guiding new players, inviting them to active guilds, helping them learn the game, building more pages on the Wiki or making guide videos - all of these things are good and you don't need to be a staff member to do them.

We already had over 3,000 people on the server. I wonder where they all went?
I just wanted to say that the golden days of the server are long gone.

That was an artificial population spike similar to release of new MMOs, where significant numbers drop out in the weeks after release for various reasons. Normal prime time pop was 1000-1500.
Dying is no option.

A few left by NB ban
Another few left because the Covid danger decrease.
Another few left because is summer.
Another few left because the new campaing.
Another few left by different reasons.

All those "fews" have made the population as it is today. Some "few" could have been avoided and others could not. :(
If I'm not mistaken, there were about 800-1000 people online before the release of the capital siege patch. That is, we are back to what it was.
I'm not trying to discredit this server in any way, I love this game, it's just that it and this server in particular deserve more users, and it really hurts me to see that a huge mass of players are looking for pvp even in those mmorpgs that do not have an adequate pvp design at all at the basic level.
